Defend Brooklyn

I'm always looking for new T-shirts, but I'm not willing to go to this length to do it. Of course, reading a 2000 word article about a guy trying to find a T-shirt with the words "Defend Brooklyn" on it doesn't say much for me. [via EverythingNY]

PS- obviously I need one of these shirts.
PPS- why does the name "Elliot Jokelson" seem so familiar? Wasn't he up at Vassar during D.H.'s brief sojourn there in 1994?

that's pretty aweful that you're ripping off somebody's work from new orleans. go freakin get an original idea you jerk.

All the jerk off's who wear these t's are not even from Brooklyn. they wouldn,t have even been able to walk down the streets of williamsburgh in the times I grew up they would have got beat up and robbed by puerto ricans in the south side and italians and pols in the north.damn hipster yeppie should go back to idaho or where ever and wear defened idaho t's

i was at vassar in '94, and the name doesn't sound familiar (and yes, the school is a small small place).

Urban Outfitters

We would like to begin selling these shirts. Please let us know where to buy in bulk so that we may, in turn, sell in bulk.

Also, FYI, jellies are cool again! Come get them for just $39.99.

What's really sad is the word "Brooklyn" becoming as annoying as "Williamsburg." Mostly due to the dipsticks living in Williamsburg. It's cancer.
